1985 Dodge Ramcharger Royale review from North America
"The best Auto I have ever owned...PERIOD!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I tried to drive it at about 85 on the interstate...doesn't work with the torqueflight. Blew the motor up, had quite a few problems with it... but not the trucks fault... it hadn't been driven in about three years. Altenator, belts, plugs, wires, upper and lower radiator hoses, and a few other assorted things... I did it all myself.
General comments?
I wish the three previous owners had titled it so Colorado would have been easier to deal with. I lost the truck, because I couldn't get the title. I had all the power of attorneys that I needed, but they said I couldn't prove anything...GRR!! It was only two wheel drive, but I had big plans for this NICE riding BIG old SUV. I believe this truck would still be a good seller today if not for the gas guzzler tax... STOOPID Durango's...juyst kiddin... I would still take a Ram Charger over a Durango any day.
